The Spindrift earrings dare to push the boundaries of The Windblown Collection. They mesmerize and hypnotize, like the spiraling spray on a gust of wind they are named after – and I suspect they will draw “oo”s and “ah”s from all those who set eyes on them.
Circular droplets - silver on top and copper on the underside - form a V where the two metals meet. A circular cut-out, with two half-moons carved out under that, draw you in. Then five cascades of ten seed beads drop from the final outer crescent in an arc; clear, green and blue with silver glints, like water falling to the earth after heavy rain.
The Spindrift earrings have movement and space at their middle and at their edges, and are likely to find resonance with those of us who prefer to shake things up rather than fit in with the status quo. They get on well with the Spindrift necklace (here's a video of me making the set on Instagram).
The earrings are threaded onto handmade, perfectly finished ear wires, formed in 0.8mm silver – neat and comfortable, with the ends ever so slightly tapered but smooth, so they can be easily slid into your ear lobe piercing.
The detail
From top to bottom (including the 3mm oval jump ring at the top) the solid, round, part of the earring at its longest point measures 2.8cm, at its widest point 2.2cm side to side and 1mm thick. The ear wires measure 2.1cm long at the front (and extra 2mm at the back), taking the entire earring length, from the top of the earring loop to bottom bead, to around 6.8cm.
Chain lengths and bespoke bangle and ring sizes
You are welcome to request a specific length of necklace chain, and/or an exact ring size. There is no extra charge for this service, but please do ensure you specify your requirements within the comments when placing your order. Alternatively, if you have any queries or wish to amend an order you have already made, please email me on dawn@foundbydawn.co.uk
Necklace, bracelet, bangle or anklet lengths:
Simply take a tape measure and loop around your neck, wrist or anklet (you may need someone to help), or even better use a necklace, bracelet or anklet that is of the length you would like and measure it from end to end (including catches and clasps)
For further help, please check out my handy guide to necklace lengths!
Ring sizes:
If you are unsure of your size, I would strongly recommend purchasing a ring sizer like this one (£1.20). Please note that this is for illustration purposes only; I have no affiliation with Amazon or this seller and you can obviously choose to buy these from other providers).
Alternatively this guide will help you find the correct measurement for the finger you wish to wear the ring on. Please double check before sending your order and bear in mind that your knuckle which the ring needs to move over, may be bigger than the base of your finger where it will sit.
Bespoke requests
I have presented the standard options for variation – such as size variations, satin or high shine finish - and you may select these to suit your preferences when placing your order.
If you love a design, but would like another finish not listed, such as the item in gold, gold plate, two different metals, or with the extra touch of a stone (or stones) added, please contact me direct, by emailing your contact phone number to dawn@foundbydawn.co.uk.
It is best for me to talk to you about what you would like, and I can provide you with a bespoke quotation, with no obligation.

*On occasion more specific items like headpins and chain has to be sourced from other suppliers. In these cases there may be a small part of your piece of handmade jewellery which may not have been recycled, but please be assured that wherever there is a more sustainable option, I will choose it. I care about environmental impact and am doing all I can to minimise my carbon footprint.
Hallmarking
Legally in the UK, any silver piece of silver jewellery weighing more than 7.78g, must be hallmarked in order to be sold as silver. Many of my creations weigh less than this, but I sometimes choose to get them hallmarked anyway (see individually listings).
Jewellers who use hallmarks, are reassuring you of the quality of precious metal they use, ensuring your chosen piece stays special long into the future.
You can learn more about what the hallmarks mean and why they are important in this pdf, or watch the video below.
